There were many calls for Finley to take over as QB1 after he came off the bench to lead AU to the win over Georgia State. LSU coach Ed Orgeron shared this week that he expected Finley, an LSU transfer, to get the start in Saturday’s Tiger Bowl.
This season, Nix is 63-of-103 passing for 724 yards and 5 touchdowns. The 5 passing TDs, however, came before Auburn played Penn State and Georgia State. Nix has rushed 13 times for 59 yards this season.
Auburn-LSU is set for 9 p.m. ET, airing on ESPN.
